Baked Lemon Pasta

This pasta you guys...is amazing. It's creamy, has the perfect amount of lemon flavor and is just plain good. I know lemon might sound weird mixed with pasta, but I've yet to find something lemon doesn't taste good with. It's refreshing and perfect for the end of summer.

Also, I got this recipe from The Pioneer Woman so you know it's bound to be good, right?
